[Haskell-cafe] ghci on ARM m3?

[Mike Meyer]

Lately, I've not been doing much Haskell because I've buried in embedded
systems work. The code is all C, with only a smidgen of C++ (for which I am
grateful).

One of the things I've been toying with is turning part of the on-chip
configuration information a haskel functions. They'd even be pure code, and
would be a lot more expressive than what's there now.

The target platforms are running Cortex M3 CPUs. I know that jhc/ajhc will
generate code for those CPUs, but I really need at least a subset of the
compiler running on the target processor with no pre-installed RTOS. Has
that been done? Is it likely to even be possible?

As part of the project, I'll need to install both a cross-compiler on my
Unix box, and the the compiler (or parts of it) on the M3. Can someone
provide pointers to tutorials on that? My google-foo wasn't powerful enough
to find any.

I'm thinking about using either an Aruino Due (as it has the M3 CPU on it)
as a testbed platform. So tutorials targeted for that platform would be
particularly appreciated.

Since I hopefully have the eyes of people experienced with these things,
should I be considering a raspberry pi or something similar instead of the
Due? Basically, will I be able to run code built for the M3 CPU on the pi
CPUs?

thanks,
Mike
